Gracie was adopted by a Chinese family in Beijing, so she's now home with her new momma and daddy. We're so thankful she now has a family as well, and we're always so excited when we see local Chinese adopt.

It's funny the things that kids pick up. Little Cameron isn't speaking much yet, but he was around one of our interns quite a bit for about 4 months, and he picked up some things from her.

"Ought Oh!" very well may be his first word!
We thought this little video of the kids singing "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" was too cute not to share. It has become one of the favorite songs in preschool, and the kids have so much fun with it--they seem to love the alternating quiet and loud parts. We all crack up when we watch them sing... I think you'll see why. Watch Peter steal the show with his adorable and enthusiastic premature start.
